"Product" in OED from 1974.

1956 Arthur Knight in _Satuday Review_ (Sept. 1) 25: United
Artists...during the ensuing quarter of a century...became recognized as
the one real outlet for quality product.

"Militaristics" not in OED.

1956 Ibid: "An antiwar story in this era of Cold War militaristics."
